Night visitors to the water hole.

Many animals seemed to wait until dusk or night before braving a trip to the water hole. Tested the high iso performance of my camera.

I believe we would all do well to crank that ISO up whenever we need the ultimate in exposure or shutter speed. As this photo proves, low light can be our friend. Love the poses of all the giraffes, and their reflections. Like a lot.
